"Why is that?" Han Changdui asked.

Princess Annan said lightly: "Because the royal blood is thin." ”

Han Changdu's eyebrows jumped: "Then their bloodline, does it still have the role of opening the last mechanism of the treasure land?" ”

Princess Annan shook her head: "Naturally, there is no more." ”

Han Changwan suddenly figured out the reason why Emperor Yong'an was eager for the princess of Annan County to have children, it turned out that he was not affectionate, but wanted a steady stream of protection.

He looked at the princess of Annan County, and asked with some difficulty: "Then, why hasn't the princess of the county been ......?"

"Han Shizi wants to ask why Concubine Ben has never been able to get pregnant, right?" Looking at Han Changdu's embarrassment, the princess of Annan County was full of bitterness, and her tone was resolute and calm: "When I married the king of the county, the concubine was bent on giving birth to a child, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and soon after the wedding, he found out my identity, I, I didn't want the child to be used, so I drank the heir soup, but he still refused to let me go, and actually killed the king of the county, I," tears crumbled in her eyes, and every time she thought of that tragic time, her heart was like a knife: "For the sake of safety, every time he comes, I'll drink another pill of Extinction. She gritted her teeth with hatred, her eyes red: "I will never give birth to his child, and I will never let the child be used by him!" ”

Han Changwan sighed when he heard it, he thought it was a relationship that couldn't be kept together, but although he knew it, it was such a shady use.

He calculated the time, Yao Qi should have almost finished the drawing, then stood up, stretched his sleeves, walked out, just walked out of the door, he suddenly turned around and said: "That Zhang Yan, the official is going to release him, the princess of the county has no objection, right?" ”

The princess of Annan County was stunned for a moment, she actually didn't know who Zhang Yan was, it was just a scapegoat who came up by mistake, at that time she thought that Xia Yuanji was Emperor Yong'an's person, and killed Xia Yuanji, she needed to give Emperor Yong'an an an explanation, and Zhang Yan happened to bump into him, so she simply took him to blame.

Who would have thought that in the end, the Department of Internal Guard would be provoked and forced to leave the truth in the sun.

This is really not as good as heaven.

She smiled bitterly: "Let it go, he is innocent, and this unjustified disaster is also wronged." ”

Han Changwan pointed to the four beautiful pictures in his hand, and said, "Tomorrow, the Japanese officials will send this picture to the palace, and the princess of the county has no objections, right?" ”

Things have come to this point, what objections can the princess of Annan County have, she only hopes that Han Changdu's methods will work, so that Emperor Yong'an will think that this picture is fake.

She nodded: "It's all up to Han Shizi." ”

Han Changwan looked at the princess of Annan County, opened his mouth, and wanted to ask something, but he felt that it was not appropriate to ask this, and finally closed his mouth.

The princess of Annan County had never seen Han Changwan suffer from gains and losses like this, and smiled dumbly: "What does Han Shizi want to ask, the most unspeakable thing to people, this concubine has said, and there is nothing that cannot be said." ”

Han Changdui raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shizi, whose child is it?" ”

"That's what I was asking about!" The princess of Annan County burst out laughing: "The biological mother of the prince and the two sisters he married out were both born to my personal maid who escaped from the Ming Palace with me, and she died in childbirth when she gave birth to her son. ”

Han Changdui showed such an expression and nodded.

The island in the middle of the lake is full of dumb servants, and there are no birds chirping, and people are faintly flustered after staying in a quiet environment for a long time.

After Yao Ji finished the last stroke, he looked up at Han Changdu, who had been sitting quietly opposite, without saying a word, and his heart was faintly hairy.

She knows more than others, but she won't be killed.

Thinking of this, she smiled apprehensively and flatteringly, and her attitude was unprecedentedly respectful: "My lord, I don't know anything. ”

Han Changwan suddenly smiled and stared at Yao Qi deeply: "I don't know anything either. ”

He warned himself that Gu Yanyan's daughter had died more than ten years ago, and when she died in that witch case, even her bones turned into dust!

Yao Qi let out a long sigh of relief, dried the drawn drawing, and handed it to Han Changdu: "My lord, can we go?" ”

Han Changwan nodded: "Go back and release Zhang Yan." ”

Yao Qi followed behind Han Changdu, and said with a smile: "He must be going crazy, this time he has to thank me, oh yes, I also want to thank my lord, his ranking in the provincial test is excellent, and the palace test is estimated to be not bad, he must be able to order a jinshi, it can't be the same jinshi, let Jinshi owe me a favor, what do I have to want?" He looks very poor, but he will definitely soar to the sky in the future, so it is better for me to keep this favor. ”

As she walked, she chattered to herself, unprepared for Han Changdui to stop suddenly, and she hit Han Changdu's back headlong.

With a "bang", her forehead pretended to be painful, covered her forehead, raised her eyes to Han Changdu's beautiful smiling eyes, her brain buzzed, no matter how big the anger was, it disappeared in an instant, and stumbled: "My lord, no, I didn't hurt you, did I?" ”

Han Changwan hooked his lips and smiled, his good-looking eyes seemed to have hooks, and his smile was particularly seductive, but his voice was cold and abnormal: "My favor is more effective than his." ”

Yao Qi let out a blank "ah", and when she saw Han Changdui turn around and get on the boat, she realized what she had just said, and what Han Changdui said, she couldn't help but pat her forehead a few times in shame and annoyance.

The color makes the wisdom faint, the color makes the wisdom faint, and the beauty misleads people!

When Han Changdui and his party came, it was a night trip in brocade, and there was no fanfare when they left, but when they walked under the corridor, they were stopped by Xie Shenzhi, the prince of Annan County, I don't know if he misunderstood something, looking at the eyes of Han Changdui and his party, he was quite hostile.

"The envoy is so majestic, he can come and leave whenever he wants, and he can search whatever he wants, is it to deceive me that there is no one in the palace of Annan County?" Xie Shen's appearance as a gentleman looked at Han Changdui and asked angrily.

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows disapprenosingly: "Xie Shizi, don't forget what your name means?" ”

Xie Shenzhi was stunned for a moment, his face turned pale, and it was extremely ugly, but there were some onlookers standing outside the door, and it was impossible to be soft, it would be too embarrassing.

He stiffened his neck, took a step forward, raised his hand with a punch, and went straight to Han Changdu's front door.

The onlookers were in an uproar, and they started fighting if they didn't agree with each other, this Xie Shenzhi was really a bastard, and even the envoy of the Internal Security Division dared to beat him! Han Changdu's feet didn't move at all, but his body was slightly on one side, and the weak fist wind brushed his ears and fell into the air, he grabbed Xie Shenzhi's fist and pushed it forward lightly.

Xie Shen took a few steps back, his body was unstable, he made a "poof", fell and squatted, and didn't get up for a long time.

The guards behind him saw that their master had suffered a loss, and Hula immediately surrounded him, all of them gearing up and eager to try.

Xie Shenzhi's face flushed angrily, and when he heard the laughter of the onlookers, he sat on the ground and couldn't get up, so he slapped his thigh angrily: "Idiot, don't hurry up and help me up!" ”

The onlookers outside laughed even more, and some people pointed and discussed.

"It is said that the prince of Annan County is a gentleman, and it seems that the rumors are true."

"That's not it, the king of Annan was a gentleman at the beginning, he didn't have much interest as a father, and he had some ability to be a son."

"The upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, this is."

Xie Shenzhi trembled with anger, turned his head and yelled at the door: "Look, look at anything, get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

The onlookers are not afraid of this, the people who live in the mansion of the sixteen kings are either rich or expensive, and those who can work as errands in this kind of people's homes all have backgrounds, they just watch the excitement and discuss a few words, what's the matter, they can also be dragged to the street to ask for beheading!

As a result, not only did the onlookers at the beginning not disperse, but many people came one after another to watch the excitement, blocking the long street at the entrance of the Annan County Palace, and the gate of the Annan County Palace could not be closed.

Xie Shen laughed angrily, turned his head and roared at Han Changdui: "You dare to beat Lao Tzu!" ”

Han Changwan took a step forward casually: "Is this called fighting, I haven't worked hard yet." ”

Hearing this, the onlookers burst into laughter.

The people of the Annan County Royal Mansion only felt that they had lost their faces today, and they had never been so ashamed.

Xie Shenzhi didn't feel embarrassed, turned his head and glanced at the crowd outside the door, only to see a few familiar faces mixed with a few fresh faces, not the ones that often come and go on this street, he turned his head, pointed at Han Changdui and scolded: "Whatever you searched from the county king's mansion, all of them were handed over to Lao Tzu, they were Lao Tzu's things, and they were all Lao Tzu's property!" ”

Han Changwan sneered and shook his fist: "Yes, you said it was yours, did you call him and he agreed, do you see if you earn any of these things?" ”

These words poked Xie Shenzhi's heart and lungs, except for his usual cockfighting, looking for flowers and willows, scattering silver everywhere, where he had earned a copper plate, he almost didn't know what kind of livelihood he could rely on to support himself after leaving the Annan County Palace.

However, this did not delay him from calling slaves and maids, and he was clothed and fed.

He roared with a white face: "This is what my father left, what my father left is mine, what kind of hero is you robbing what I left behind, robbing your own father's things is the ability!" ”

The onlookers burst into laughter and laughed, there is nothing wrong with what this said, what is left by someone's father, how to spend a lot of money is reasonable, Han Changdui is an outsider to rob it, that is, it is too much deception!

Han Changwan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "This is given to me by your mother, you are not convinced, go to your mother!" ”

When the onlookers heard this, they suddenly didn't dare to laugh, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to say more, but they were secretly thinking in their hearts.

The fetish of the princess of Annan County is well known to the world, and it is obvious to all that Han Changdu, the envoy of the internal security department, is extremely outstanding, so thinking about it, it is not surprising that the princess of Annan County gave him something.

It's okay to be patient with others to talk about it in private, but it's another thing to be humiliated in front of someone.

Xie Shenzhi jumped like thunder, and the blue tendons in the corners of his forehead jumped suddenly, but he couldn't beat and scold, scolded and scolded, and his anger had nowhere to vent, and he watched Han Changdui get into the carriage leisurely, and go away, he hated it so much that he almost looked at everyone outside the door with his eyes that were about to breathe fire, and said viciously: "Arrest them all to Lao Tzu!" Caught! ”

The guards of the palace of Annan County froze and looked at each other.

Although the onlookers outside are not rich and noble, most of them are rich slaves of rich and noble families, and they must have some background.

You can't catch it, and you can still scold it.

The guards swarmed up, swearing and swearing, and half-truths and half-truths with their scabbards, driving them away.

Watching the gate of the Annan County Mansion slowly close, isolating the gossip, Xie Shenzhi's breath finally calmed down, he crossed his waist with one hand, and held the vermilion pillar with the other, looking at the lonely mansion from afar, and the cornices against the light outlined a silhouette-like silhouette in the blue sky.

He sighed silently, there are too many nails in the palace of Annan County, which can neither be easily pulled out nor cleaned, he can only make a show in front of people and think about it later, making such a scene may really be of some use.

Coming out of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, along the winding alleys with pink walls and blue bricks, facing south, turning west at the first intersection, riding a horse at a gallop of less than two moments, and then arrived at the door of the Department of Internal Guard.

Han Changdui slowly lifted the curtain and looked out through the gap, only to see that the crowd that had originally gathered outside the gate of the Annan County Mansion had dispersed, but a few people were standing on the opposite side of the Annan County Palace, walking back and forth, and had no intention of leaving in a short time.

A few others followed the carriage as if they were about to go, a street away.

Meng Sui walked to the carriage and whispered through the window, "Shizi, they have withdrawn." ”

Han Changdui hummed in a low voice.

In order to dispel Emperor Yong'an's vigilance, after Han Changwan and his party came out of the palace of Annan County, they did not turn around the road, and went back to the internal guard department directly, and threw the reins to the internal guard at the door, He Zhenfu greeted him happily, with a smile on his face: "My lord, the brothers of Chen Ji Charcoal Burning have been arrested!" ”

Han Changwan was not surprised and said: "Two ordinary people with no foundation, no background, and no kung fu, if you have to work hard to catch them, then you can let this general banner," he turned his head to see Yao Qi, and raised his chin: "You can let Yao join the army." ”

"......" He Zhenfu choked and was speechless.

Yao Qi pretended to be flattered, and his excitement was overflowing: "My lord, are you telling the truth?" What is the monthly salary of the general flag, is it more than joining the army? Is it a separate house, is it a chase shop or a single room? Is there no meat for three meals a day? ”

"......" Han Changdui was dumbfounded.

"......" He Zhenfu was even more speechless, and rolled his eyes at Chaotian: "Yao joined the army, don't take such a direct rush!" ”

Han Changwan had a headache and said in despair: "Forget it, you still join the army in Jingzhao Mansion, the Internal Security Division is not suitable for you." ”

Yao Qi pretended to be reluctant again: "Oh, I heard that the internal guard Si Dun has meat, the house is spacious and clean, and the moon is taller than the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, don't be so ruthless......"

"......" He Zhenfu shuddered as he watched Han Changdu, and his eyes rolled even wider: "I've been a poor person for so many years, how come I don't know, Yao joined the army, and rumors must have evidence!" ”

Yao Qi sighed nonchalantly: "Do you still need evidence to spread rumors?" ”

"......" He Zhen was speechless, turned his head and ignored Yao Qi, and if he said one more word to her, he would be able to make him angry and die young on the spot, for a long time. He breathed a sigh: "My lord, the Chen brothers confessed that they did it in the saltpeter in order to take revenge. ”

"Revenge?" Han Changdui was surprised: "What revenge?" ”

He Zhenfu said: "The Chen brothers have a sister named Chen Yueru, five years ago at the age of sixteen, in their hometown Lantian County when they set a family affair, but was abducted by the flowers, the Chen brothers caught the flowers, learned that Chen Yueru was sold to the capital, the two chased all the way to the capital, or a step late, these years they sent carbon to the rich and noble, everywhere to inquire about Chen Yueru's news, and finally learned a year ago that their sister was bought by the two immortal masters of the Qingxu Palace, brought into the palace to refine the elixir for the saint, and has long been gone. They planned for a year, and then sent the saltpeter to the Qingxu Palace, and learned that the Qingxu Palace was bombed, and the two immortal masters died, and the two of them immediately escaped from Beijing, probably knowing that they couldn't run away, and the two of them did not flee far away, and went back to Lantian County directly after leaving Beijing, and set up a mound for Chen Yueru, and then waited in the old house, and when the guards came to the door, they even changed their clothes. ”

"What clothes did you change?" Han Changdui paused, turned his head and asked.

He Zhenfu sighed: "Although the brothers opened a charcoal burning shop, all the money over the years has been spent on finding the whereabouts of their sister Chen Yueru, and the old house is about to collapse, and the two of them have no permanent property, and the only clothes that can meet guests are still half-old. ”

Yao Qi is also full of emotion, the world has suffered from human traffickers for a long time, how many flower girls have died, how many families have suffered from the separation of flesh and blood, and now this world is different from her previous life, there was monitoring, face recognition, and the Tianyan system, and it is not so easy to catch human traffickers, but now this traffic is basically by walking, communication is basically by roaring, and finding people is basically by touching the world, a person is abducted, and it is almost a lifetime to see each other again.

She raised her eyes and saw Han Changdui standing against the light, her face was also moved, and her originally cold and detached eyebrows and eyes were a little more unbearable.

After being silent for a moment, Han Changdui said slowly: "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

He knew very well in his heart that if he killed the saint's favor and almost cut off the saint's idea of immortality, these two people would surely die.

But there is a big difference between a sharp knife and a few thousand knives and slow torture.

The Chen brothers were just ordinary people, they had no martial arts, and there was basically no uncontrollable danger, but the crimes committed by the two of them were too serious, and they could only be imprisoned in the dungeon of the Internal Guard.

He Zhenfu, the confession of the dossier, has already been sorted out, and he is just waiting for Han Changdui to read it and present it to Emperor Yong'an.

I don't know what kind of thunder and anger Emperor Yong'an will be after seeing it.

Han Changdui pondered slowly, passing through the two half-open heavy iron doors, and the stone steps that extended to the ground were full of cracks, and dark moss came out of the cracks, growing extremely luxuriantly.

The steps are wet and slippery, the candle light on the ground is dim, Han Changdui and He Zhenfu often come and go in this dungeon, even if they know the road with their eyes closed, but Yao Qi is difficult, she has only come twice when she is full, although she remembers the road, she still walks carefully, lest she fall.

The cramped dungeon is filled with the smell of dampness and decay, and it becomes extremely difficult for people to breathe after staying here for a long time.

The Chen brothers were imprisoned in the first cell of the dungeon, which was from the doorway, and the sunlight could penetrate through the cracks in the high iron doors, which were not as damp as the deepest cells, and the top layer of withered yellow straw on the ground was still dry.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the Chen brothers, who were sitting in the straw pile, raised their heads in unison, revealing two numb and vicissitudes of life, and their eyes showed a look of horror.

Han Changdui was stunned, these two people had dark complexions, rough faces, their lips were full of cracked cuts, the wrinkles on their foreheads were deep and dense, and their temples were already white, as if a thin layer of snow had fallen.

He looked down and saw that the Chen brothers were nervous, holding the hem of their clothes tightly, the skin on their hands was a little rougher than the one on their faces, and the cracks and cracks were covered with black dust, which were the traces left by begging for a living in the charcoal fire all year round.

According to the records in the dossier, the Chen brothers are only a few years old, but looking at this appearance, it is said that they are believed in their forties.

Yao Qi stood at the back, and saw the oil lamp hanging high flickering, and under the dim and obscure light, the two withered old faces, couldn't help sighing.

The world is really hard, but not all the toiling people look old, and the current appearance of these two people is obviously caused by Chen Yueru's disappearance and death, non-stop searching, resentment, and planning revenge, and the panic after the revenge is revenged.

She suddenly struck a spirit, and perhaps died, but for them, it was also another new life.

The Chen brothers have never seen any big officials, and the biggest officials they have seen are the chief of the house, Fang Zheng and the like, as well as the Wuhou who patrols the streets at night, and when they saw Han Changdui and the three of them, they moved their lips, and they couldn't say anything in fear, and they forgot to salute.

Han Changdui suddenly felt bored, stood outside the cell, looked at the Chen brothers a few times through the thumb-thick fence, turned around and left the dungeon.

He Zhenfu was full of suspicion, and was about to ask in a daze, when suddenly his sleeve was pulled, he closed his mouth, and turned his head to see Yao Qi shaking his head at him slightly.

He couldn't help but suddenly realize that his own envoy had moved his heart of compassion.

Han Changdui walked to the west slanting in the shadow of the sun, the warm breeze was blowing, and he said casually: "Take Zhang Yan to the signing room." ”
